Log in No account? For cis members, this will "Cissexual portugues" that we scrutinize our actions and motivations, as well as our investment in the systemic inequities that make transphobia and cissexism possible in our society. We believe that until cis people commit in good faith to doing this, widespread social change cannot occur. The About section also defines both cisgenderism and cissexism, which are two separate but obviously strongly interconnected things. In other words, cisgenderism is against people who do gender wrongcissexism is against people whose concept of their sex does not match what society assigned them at birth.

One can certainly be targeted by both, and often times the line is hard to draw. Just like with most oppressions, it's not cut and dry, and a matter of degrees. I think this is where some of the conflict with transphobic feminists come about.

A lot of the transphobic radical feminists visibly do not acceptably perform the gender woman. A lot of times, what they face could be called sexism. But in some cases, like the discrimination faced by a female-assigned-at-birth, woman-identified butch "Cissexual portugues" being masculine, we could well call it cisgenderism, due to the gender nonconformity of the butch in question. However, the butch still definitely has cissexual privilege, and is not oppressed by cissexism.

This is why it's crucial to talk about both cissexism and cisgenderism, how they interact with each other -- "Cissexual portugues" in trans people who are perceived as performing Cissexual portugues gender identity in societal acceptable ways getting more acceptance then trans people who are gender nonconforming in their gender identity, or have a non-binary gender identity.

All of Cissexual portugues are fine, but remember when posting and commenting to know where you fit, and what privileges you have and this goes for every other type of oppression, too. Part of privilege is that it's invisible; inevitably, sometimes we will all not see our privilege - it's how we respond to that being pointed out to us and how we change our privileged attitudes and actions that is more crucial.

I'm not sure i'm following--would like to understand. This is not Cissexual portugues place for that conversation - that conversation needs to happen in an Cissexual portugues trans space, where the voices of trans female people and genderqueer femmes are centered. Basically, that there are two strongly intertwined oppressions - cisgenderism and cissexism - that cis people benefit from, and that oppress trans and genderqueer people.

The direction of the community is for cis people to work on unpacking their cis privilege, which they get from being cisgender and cissexual.

I've been searching everywhere for an active community like this, to no avail, and am very pleased to see this created. Kudos aplenty to whomever Cissexual portugues the idea; I am eager to see what arises from this.

I get some degree of cisgender privilege but I also deal with some degree of subversivism in. Edited at Yeah, this is absolutely not the space for that conversation - PM me if you want to talk about it. About the term cisgenderism--does this include, say, prejudice against girls who are good at math, perpetrated by people of any gender? Or does it refer mainly to prejudice against people who counter gender stereotypes in more blatant ways, such as butch women? I'm cissexual and largely cisgender, but various elements of my personality differ widely in Cissexual portugues much they conform to gender stereotypes.

The girls who are good at math example comes from my own life--my parents really had to fight to get me appropriate enrichment in math when I was a kid, and I was bullied pretty heavily for daring to be an intellectually arrogant girl. After reading some more in this community, I'm getting the impression that the answer to this question is, "Well, yes, but what you're describing is such a minor manifestation that it's really not all that important in comparison to the level of discrimination and suffering that trans people and possibly to a lesser extent butch women experience from people who don't "Cissexual portugues" to employ or interact respectfully with anyone whose gender presentation makes them uncomfortable.

It's not a matter of being "minor" or "unimportant" so much as this is something separate from what is being discussed here. Nice job on kisekileia 's part, taking a post about cisgenderism, cissexism, and transphobia and turning it into "hey, i [a cis person] experience that kind of Cissexual portugues, too!

As abydosangel said, that's not what this community is for; it's not a place for cis people to talk about how they are unique snowflakes who are also victimized by cissexism, or derail the conversation toward the misogyny experienced by cis women. Cisgenderism, cissexism, and transphobia are not things that a cis person should need to say "hey, i get that from people to!

Okay, I get your point, and I'm sorry. I should not have used a personal example in my attempt to clarify the breadth of the term cisgenderism, since I absolutely do not need to say "hey, I get that from people too" to care about it, and my situation is not similar enough to those of trans people to be Cissexual portugues comparable to theirs. Learning about the disgusting rates at which trans people face death, unemployment, ostracism from their families, and other types of horrible treatment because of "Cissexual portugues" they are, and hearing the stories of people who have lived these things, were more than enough to make me care about the systemic prejudice and violence against them.

I was very ineffectively trying to get at a question about the relationship between sexism and cisgenderism. I am curious about how cisgenderism and sexism seem to Cissexual portugues into each other in the examples described in the paragraph about transphobic feminists.

I understand that it is also cisgenderism when social systems assume that Cissexual portugues fits neatly into the categories of "male" and "female" with gender and physical sex matching.

My motivation for speculating about this is that I want Cissexual portugues better understand what cisgenderism is Cissexual portugues that I can better understand the oppression that trans people experience and I do not.

However, if this question is considered to be derailing or out of place here, please let me know, and I will stop discussing it here and attempt to research it elsewhere. Cisgenderism is a term defined in the userinfo. What aspects of that definition are unclear to you? Basically just the term "gender-nonconforming".

I'm not clear on what degree of noncomformity this necessarily entails. Is this something I should just try to figure out by reading more widely on such issues? I'm on the autism spectrum, and thus sometimes have difficulty figuring out how to behave in social situations, and need more explicit information to figure out how to behave correctly than most people do.

I evidently overestimated my level of knowledge about how to behave correctly in a community such as this. I'll probably mostly lurk for a while now. I know you heard me. I wasn't sure whether other people would know the implications, which is why I provided a bit more explanation the second time. I do not provide info about my autism on my user info because I am not "out" to Cissexual portugues on my friends list. However, I appreciate that you're giving me more of a chance than transphobics would give you.

Thank you for explaining this. I have a tendency to think I've figured out something socially, and then find out through experience that I haven't figured something out. I am now aware that I haven't got keeping trans spaces safe nearly as well as I thought I had.

I understand that it Cissexual portugues incredibly important to keep trans spaces safe for trans people, which is why I'm planning on "Cissexual portugues" lurking here for a while until I've got the details of keeping spaces safe better figured out.

I'm really not interested in making this about me. I would like to redirect the conversation back to the subject of the post. I've been working to unpack sex and gender for a while. The big thing for me as a cissex genderqueer woman is that when folks neglect to see the difference in cissexism and cisgenderism there's no space to speak to the cisgender privilege a masculine transsex man benefits from, or the layered and intersectional oppression Cissexual portugues a feminine transsex man experiences.

That's just one example. "Cissexual portugues"

birth privilege. the idea that...

As dashingdeviant names, it also Cissexual portugues make space for a transgender or genderqueer cissex person to name and own their own spaces of oppression and privilege respectively.
